My family which consisted of a group of 5, ranging in ages from 11 to 60, booked this River Ventures manatee swim tour which was a first for us. We were ecstatic to “swim” with the manatees and Gavin and Emerson were wonderful! They made sure that everyone was comfortable within their range of experience around the water to ensure that everyone was happy. Believe me - we were more than happy! Lastly, we usually don’t get photo packages but this time we did and are so glad that we did. The pictures captured this memory for us so that we could just enjoy and be in the moment. Kudos to everyone at River Ventures!
